When using a CPU lens equipped with an aperture ring (0 373), lock
the aperture ring at the minimum aperture (highest f-number). Type G
lenses are not equipped with an aperture ring.
Non-CPU lenses can only be used in exposure mode g (aperture-priority
auto) and h (manual). In other modes, exposure mode g is
automatically selected when a non-CPU lens is attached (0 371, 374).
The exposure mode indicator (e or f ) will blink in the control panel and
A will be displayed in the viewfinder.

viewfinder.
